[Python] Ignored font size of the math formula in Plotly

Take the following example of code for a plot in plotly:

import plotly.graph_objects as go

fig = go.Figure()
fig.add_trace(go.Box(x = [r"$\mu", r"\sigma"], y=[10, 14]))
fig.update_layout(xaxis=dict(tickfont=dict(size=24))
fig.show()
fig.write_image("this_image.png")


The size has no impact on the font size of the xaxis's labels. On the other hand, if x values are a simple text like x=["mu", and "sigma"], it will be impacted by the size.

Note that the solutions like using \displaystyle (e.g., r"$\displaystyle \mu" and r"\LARGE $\mu$") are not working and are ignored by the renderer.

The engine of the image writer is "Kaleido" (kaleido==1.0.0, plotly==6.2.0, Python 3.12).

The question is how to fix this issue for math formulas in the generate image?
